Answer:

62.17% probability that a randomly selected exam will require more than 15 minutes to grade

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 16.3, \sigma = 4.2

What is the probability that a randomly selected exam will require more than 15 minutes to grade

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 15. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{15 - 16.3}{4.2}

Z = -0.31

Z = -0.31 has a pvalue of 0.3783.

1 - 0.3783 = 0.6217

62.17% probability that a randomly selected exam will require more than 15 minutes to grade

Please helppp!!<br> For the equation y = 3x – 6 Complete the table for the x values given.
enot [183]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x -6

x = -2, y = -12

x = -1, y = -9

x = 0, y = -6

x = 1, y = -3

x = 2, y = 0

x= 3, y = 3

x    -2       -1        0        1          2         3

y    -12     -9       -6       -3         0         3
